Community Status Updates

A lot of things are on my mind at the moment but the main thing is how many characters our status updates are allowed to be because at this moment I seem to be able to keep on typing and the text is getting longer and it doesn't look like it's about to stop and this must be approaching 500 characters now so I'm going to stop now but I'm glad I have finally got this curious wondering out of my mind now and I can finally rest kowing that I have done something very useful today :D
